From supermarket shelves to quick service counters, Formakote™ Solaire is designed for converters and brand owners seeking the perfect balance between visual impact and functional strength.
Solaire ensures packaging looks premium, converts efficiently, and supports sustainability targets.
This coated-one-side folding boxboard delivers the stiffness and reliability converters expect, with the result being eye-catching, sustainable packaging that performs across a wide range of FMCG and food applications.
Designed for visual impact
Formakote™ Solaire features a double-coated top surface for high-definition graphics and crisp brand reproduction. Complex illustrations, rich colours, and fine detailing print cleanly across a range of processes, including sheet-offset, digital, and flexographic systems.
For converters and brands competing for attention in crowded aisles, Solaire’s smooth surface provides the ideal foundation for reliable, consistent presentation.
Strength where it counts
Behind its visual performance is a 3-ply structure that delivers rigidity and reliability through converting, filling, and transport. This combination of high bulk, low weight, and controlled stiffness ensures that Solaire performs as well in the pressroom as it does on the shelf and in the hands of the consumer.
Ideal applications
Formakote™ Solaire is ideally suited to a wide range of fast-moving consumer goods, including:
- Breakfast cereals, tea, and coffee
- Frozen and chilled foods
- Bakery and confectionery products
- Tissues and lightweight grocery items
Solaire’s blend of print clarity and converting performance makes it an effective choice for fast-turnover retail goods and quick-service food packaging alike.
The Formakote™ difference
Like every board in the Formakote™ portfolio, Solaire is produced from renewable, responsibly sourced fibre and reflects WML Paperboard’s commitment to quality, consistency, and sustainable performance.
Whether used for supermarket packaging or quick-service applications, Formakote™ Solaire delivers a dependable, visually impressive, and efficient result; all in a lighter footprint.
